Vital signs are noted to check for fever.
Inspection
- Eye discharge
- Purulent rhinorrhea
- Red eye
- Corneal haziness
- Proptosis
Palpation
- Eyelids are everted and observed for foreign bodies
- Facial tenderness for sinus
- Lymph node enlargements
Eye Examination
- Best corrected visual acuity
- Visual field test
- Pupillary light response
- Extraocular movements
- Slit lamp examination: identifying any corneal disease
- Opthalmoscopic examination: visualizing of the inner layer so eye, retina.
- Tonometry to measure ocular pressure
Alarming findings in exam
- Corneal edema
- Signs of systemic infection
- Decreased visual acuity
- Proptosis
- Impaired extraocular motility
